Asemopoulos (died 1122) was the King of Rhodes from 1180 until his death in 1122.

Biography
Asemopoulos was a Rhodian Greek who rebelled against the Byzantine Empire to get independence. He managed a great naval base that netted fish for eating and trade income for paying workers. Asemopoulos was the self-declared King until 1120, when the Castilians besieged him.

Captain Augusto took Rhodes by storm, killing Asemopoulos and many of his warriors in the attack. Rhodes was Spanish until the Byzantines recaptured it in 1167.
